    Multiplayer: Tell me about your career and how you got the job at “X-Play.”

    Webb: I needed a job and so I go a job at TechTV, and I was doing research and was the tape producer, so it wasn’t actually on-air or meant to be on-air at all. I just had a good knowledge of computers and technology, and so they hired me to basically do a little bit of technical work for them. Then I started doing little segments like tech help segments on-air; no games just computers. Windows tips, how to install hard drives and that kind of thing. A few times out of the week I would go on [TV], and I started to go on a little more and started to go on a little more. And when they were revamping a show called “Extended Play” with Adam Sessler — he’d been on that show for a while — they wanted to update it and turn it into a show called “X-Play.” And they were looking for a woman who knew about video games and I happened to be working in the company, knew everybody, and I’d been friends with Adam. They knew I that liked to play games and that’s how they hired me to be on “X-Play.”

    Multiplayer: Do you think you encountered any challenges during your career that men would’ve never had to face?
